depressed

It’s been months since I stopped seeking reassurance and started focusing on my life through therapy to help with my generalized anxiety disorder... However, it never truly went away.** The messed-up part is, I’ve been doing NoFap for so long that I almost forgot I was even doing it—or even...

Hello, I have been struggling with porn addiction for years now(22 at the moment, started watching at the age of 9). I have a lot of things I have to fix, but the main thing that is bugging me right now is when I enter something like automatic mode. I am just in front of my tablet, pc, phone…...

Hey. I have admitted for long time ago that Iam a porn addict. I have been addicted to porn for about 10 years since I started on very young age. Now Im doomed in a cycle. Porn -> Alcohol -> Smoking, and repeat. I have lied to myself, I just had to admit that Im also a alcoholic and smoker too...

Guys, I wanted to ask you if you have similar experience. I’m a 23 year old guy and I honestly believe that I’ve been depressed 80% of my life. It’s getting more severe and worse with age obviously, but at the same time you feel stability and comfort when you consider yourself a piece of shit...

I've discovered nofap 2 years ago, I kept trying to stop, and I really cannot, even I know it's really bad for me, I am now in the step where I can't control myself any more, my longest streak was almost 40days, I really want to stop porn and fap forever, it damaged my whole body and my mind, I...

Our movement is bigger than you think, having a whole generation's sexuality altered is bigger than you think, self inflicted mass castration is bigger than you think, you will be fine, you will live but barely, you will strip yourself of every single beautiful thing that makes you a man, your...

Hi all! I'm a 16 year old whos been on the subreddit for a bit but has since came to the forums because the word reddit is enough of a "trigger" for me. I am insanely nihilistic and have day dreamed about the cliche, angsty teenager who decides to drown themselves in sensory overload of pleasure...

I’m not new to NoFap or the forums, I decided to make a new account because I had fears that people I knew were able to access and read my posts that I was making. I have no real idea if this is true or not, and find myself in a bigger problem than the first time I joined NoFap. I have found...

I am feeling severely lonely, empty from inside, frustration after failing different indian competitive exams many times. Failure is because of PMO and failure again leads to PMO in turn.

Ok, for those of you who have maybe looked at some of my previous posts, you know that I currently have a femdom-findom addiction. I have had this for many years, and I am just now realizing how much it has negatively impacted my life. I do not know what it is, but for some reason paying some...

Just feeling like I wanna relapse so bad rn. Today is just one of those days that remind me how insignificant in the grand scheme of things I really am. I feel alone and even though I have friends to call they're busy with their own lives to be bothered with me. I don't like calling them or...

Once you relapse, it's so easy to continue to dig your graved deeper. A couple of reasons to why I relapse are usually more easily then not preventable if stop myself before It gets out of hand. Tiredness Loneliness Jealousy Anxiousness Stress Depressing wave of emotions. A lot of these, I...

It's been a month since I started to try and stop looking at p. My best run was 18 days but I relapse every 8 days or so. Im very depressed I can't find the motivation to study, work or do anything productive. I don't see the point to live anymore. I spend all my days laying in my bed doing...

I noticed that I can easily make it to 5 days, until the urges starts, and on 7 days it becomes really hard. Also seeing dreams about porn every night after 5 days. I cant think anything else but porn, I cant distract myself becouse the urges are nonstop on my mind. This is making me suicidal...

I have crush on two really beautiful and cute girls, I just cant do any steps to date any of them. Im too afraid and shy. I will be always alone.. how do you even get a relationship?

I cant stop watching porn, I always fail trying to reboot. Again I went in to p sites to fap, I just cant resist it. I feel completely dead and my brains are dying and Im ruining my life. I have no idea how to make it. This shit is impossible when you have went too far.. :( Great life I had..so...

I'm such a fuck up, you know what I'm tired of hearing? I'm tired of hearing my school counsellor or my soccer coach telling me shit like 'It's in your head', 'Get out of your own head' and the most useless of all 'Combat/Challenge those negative thoughts'. Surely, one would think, if they were...

Hey guys, I tried NoFap last year and the longest I went was 7 days, so I beat my record! But I feel no different and have been more depressed than ever... No, this is not a flatline because I've been this way since day 1. I was kind of expecting to at least feel better or some motivation to...

Hey Guys, I started my Journey +- 30 days ago. My first symptons of flatline show up. I'm with back pain, pressure in my tooth, very irritable, tired, stressed, it seems my energy disappear and appears random. Yesterday i faced some depression symptons that came from nothing and also go without...

(This is my first day here). I'm on my 6th or 7th day without porn and about an hour or 2 w/out masturbating but excluding porn, masturbating was one way of relieving depressing. Luckily I'm not as addicted as I once was yet I have a short story as to why I'm addicted. Feb of 2018 I was cheated...

I'm a 20 year old male. And I'm suffering from ED. Once I masturbated a lot and had a very high sex drive. But one day I masturbated normally like I did and after that I felt really low libido and had weak erections and weak morning woods. I did noFap but I always relapse after 7 days. I had...

Hi, guys today is 30th of my reboot. İ used to have thoughts about being gay in every reboot and in some times being pedophiliac but i didn't write about these thoughts before only the thoughts of being gay. A few weeks ago i was watching a movie about gay and pedophile it was infographic, so...

I've not looked at porn in just under 10 days and haven't done "it" in about 2 days. I've been incredibly depressed for the past 4 weeks and am waiting for my GP to call. Please tell me I'm not the only one. update: prescribed strong antidepressants

Today I cried because I realised how out of touch I am with myself and I started to feel ashamed because of it. I'm not living the life that I want to live and I don't even know what kind of life I want to live. I just feel so small compared to everyone else. It just seems as though everyone...

Got a "friend" who is driving dirty long story short my "friend" hired a lawyer a month before the lockdown to take care of his suspended license due to non payment of traffic tickets.. Paid him 2k.. Then Covid hit and all courts were shut down.. Now my "friend" can't get his license reinstated...

There are a few areas which I am insecure about with my life. Part of the reason why is because of PMO that makes me feel as though I am impulsive and that it's a good thing even when I am on a streak. I try to make an identity out of being 'spontaneous' and having multiple interests/ not having...

Im reebooting for my first time. 30 days now, no PM. Had sex with my wife tho, about 2 weeks ago. Weve been married for 16 years and have kids. Last years have been all about fighting, not much sex. Ive told her about my PM habits. She was kind of relieved (so she was not too blame), and kind...

Hello everyone. I am a 20 year old male. I've been actively viewing porn for 9 years, although I was exposed to it a while before that. I decided to quit because I've known its bad for a long time, and frankly, I'm too old to be locked in my bedroom playing with myself. My "rebooting...

Hi everybody, I started the NoFap challenge today, I've tried quitting porn and masterbation many times but always fell back into the rabbit-hole but I'm more hopeful that by having other people I can share my experiences with instead of keeping it as my dirty little secret. I went through a...

Hello, Last year I went 30 times to prostitutes after my relationship with my ex was broken. It was very stupid and quickly I realised that I was addicted to it.. because if girls didnt like me fine I went to the P's.... Now I live in Ghent alone and the urges are insane, i'm constantly...

I was introduced to Nofap 3 years ago and since then, I've tried stopping this addiction time and time again but I've constantly failed. I have never gone 30 days without fapping. Throughout this time, I realized just how much I crave and depend on this addiction. I fap when I'm anxious...

I don't know if this will help any guys out, but I want to share some experience. When I was divorced in 2017, I went through a lot of bitter loneliness. Trying to get a date was impossible. But what I started to realize was that I might be on my own for some time. If that was the case, I...

Hello everyone, 3 days ago i sadly lost my 61 day streak. My mom and dad are on vacation so, i am all alone at home. And now that school is over here i was bored and then i slipped. I was sad but also happy because i have been masturbating for 5-6 years and i never could go above 2 months. But...

Hello guys,i am 26 years old guy. I have been watching porn since i was 15 or 16. Well back then it wasn't actually a proper porn. It started with actually just few pictures of hot ladies from magazine (this is pre internet kid of 90's). Then after that it shifted to 'hot movie scene' YouTube...

I am 27 years old and 21 days into NoFap. I'm really struggling with depression and anxiety since quitting 21 days ago. Porn has never been an issue for me- I have never watched porn. But previously I was masturbating 1-3/4 times a day. Physically controlling myself hasn't turned out to be the...

Hello guys, I have officially joined NoFap today. My main reason is that I have become a victim of PMO. Earlier I had great self-control and I really had won over this problem. But just a year or so and change in personal circumstances, I feel like I have gone back to square one. I know that...

Guys, I'm on Day 24, and I guess many people did not experience a flatline! I'm very disturbed emotionally, I just hate everyone, everything. I can't explain my situation in words.

I need some advice on how to move forward. I can’t get past day 1. I’m stuck in a rut. I have been an addict for 4 years. I’m almost 24. I can’t seem to get a new grip on life. It’s embarrassing to admit that it’s this bad, but hiding it isn’t going to solve anything. I need help. I’ve tried...

Hey everyone! As the title says, I'm struggling a lot recently. About 7 months I had an intense interaction with a girl. Now we didn't have sex but we did bond. She was my first kiss as well as girl I ever bonded with. Things between us did not go well and I got really hurt by everything that...

Hi guys, I'm Sera and am 17 y/o, I'm looking for some great offline games that can help me with my urges. I know I'm supposed to be productive etc. But I can't focus anymore when I do something 'hard' and I intend to use video games as a 'replacement' for porn until I get about 30-50 days...

Okay, so I'm a student and a son, 19 year-old. I consider myself as a weird man. Yes, I am gay, since I was a kid I knew that I am gay. I knew that I was attracted to my same sex and by that I cannot really enjoy my life. I know I'm gay but there's something inside me that fighting against it...

Nothing going better. Life has not gotten any better. It was really bad from day one and continued. What to do?

A great depression has hung over my head for a long time. Whether its just because of the porn, or also just the way I've always been, my life feels like it is missing so much. I have very few connections and have never been in a real relationship. I find it difficult to make meaningful, lasting...

It’s been 2 years since I last dated or was interested in a girl due to my severe porn addiction, which started when I broke up with my gf. Even though I did kiss a several few and there, I was not interested in them. I am 19 BTW Around 3 weeks ago I met this beautiful girl which I really liked...

I’m sick of myself, i’ve been fapping since the first day i turned 12. I’m 18 now and i’m still fapping just depressed and lost. The only things that make me horny are crazy porn that i don’t even wanna explain. It’s been a couple days since i last fapped and i want to continue to be sober. Do...

I am tired of this. It's a fight. A big fight with myself, more precisely with my body. I am doing nofap seriously for nearly a year now but I still couldn't achieve the 90 days mark. I want to rewire my brain so that I can be confident, not in relationship or in sex. I want to be confident...

Hello. I've been on here before, and have had a long struggle with porn and masturbation. I started in my teens and became addicted to it without fully realizing how big the issue was. The fact that it became a serious problem clicked back in 2016, but I kept going at it. I'd try to stop but...

I think the universe has gave me another shot in getting sober. It's weirdly easy for me to hit a 10-day milestone back in December last year. Then, I started relapsing like crazy around February. Reaching a 7-day milestone suddenly became impossible. Now, I'm already 11 days in without any...

Sometimes I feel like there is a wave of depression hitting me, I am not sad it is just I feel so sensitive to anything that can make me sad, I know that I am not truly sad but I find that I can't stop myself of crying in this mood.. weird! I also feel that my head is sleepy and I feel lethargic...

I first got into porn around 2009 by googling pictures of celebrities naked, not aroused yet. Things slowly escalated as I got into animes by my friends during secondary school. During those days, I watched a few animes with heavy amount of fanservice but I still wasn't aroused by it until...

Hey guys This is my second attempt after failing the first time which lasted for 13 days. The real reason I started the Nofap journey was to be more attractive to girls. Safe to say its not working after 25 days. I don't see any changes. No girl is approaching me. I even started working out and...

Something I’ve noticed is that even though I am 19 years old I have very low libido. I only get urges when I look at triggers. I’ve started fapping since I was around...
